Mac 27
 

2-3 month used, not retina, 27" core i5 3.2 8 GB RAM and 1 TB fusion drive - would you consider buying it for USD 1k these days?

I believe Fusion drive can be replaced for SSD and more RAM can be pumped up, any other hiccups? That sort of machine, good with Photohop?

THanks.

That's a pretty good price.

I've never tested the Fusion drive (My Macs either have standard hard drives or SSD) but I've heard good things about it. Swapping it for an SSD is no problem but you probably don't need to. The Fusion drives are a good mix of SDD and mechanical drives.

Put it up on Ebay or CL and you should get a buyer pretty fast.

Checked ebay, my concern is its not late 2015 made, but rather 2010. Asked the guy about purchase documents.

$1000 for a mid-class core i5, 8 GB RAM and 1 TB? In 2016? Is that a joke? My Android-powered tablet has more power :)

P.S. I've bought my PC with Core i7, 16GB RAM, 3TB main HDD (plus 1TB a reserve one) about 5 years ago for much less money (yeah, that 3TB HDD was bought a couple of years later, but still it costs me much less than $1000 for the whole desktop station).

Only in Russia.

P.S.: you heard any fuck i posted about PC?

So what did you buy if not a PC (personal computer)? A kick scooter? You have overpaid at least 10x times then.

It's about style and pleasure, something technical people can NOT understand.

Hi Sid,

I made a mistake - I thought you were selling, not buying. My bad.

I would say that the price is still reasonable. There are plenty of places to buy and sell though, so shop around until you find the machine you want.

No and for a couple of reasons. 2010 is just too old and also because the way the font smoothing and OS works now I wouldn't buy any Mac now that was not retina.

We have a Mac Pro hooked up to an external monitor and the way text looks gives me a headache.

Lots of choices in the Apple refurb store with full warranty.

Fuck that huge ass crap. I will shop for a used Macbook Pro 17".
